Preparedness at the Coaches Box

Leave a comment

Weather was 32 degrees and chilly but the lights were on and YHC was prepped for a Q to discuss Jester and Preparedness

Simply defined, the Jester is temptation of the flesh that hinders Acceleration. It is a stumbling block that a man continuously trips over in his effort to become a Pro.

The Jester tells a man several lies including:

1. You are the boss of me
2. You are what you do
3. You are not a bad guy
4. Jester and Virtue can coexist
5. You can’t live, if living is without me

But the antidote to the Jester is preparedness, preparing for what is expected and what is unexpected. The addition of love to this preparation leads to diminishing the Jester. But it is a battle that a Man must fight throughout his life.

Where have all the Armory guys gone?

Leave a comment

JWOW and I both were kind of coming in hot around 5:15 and equally shocked we were the only pax present. Both thinking the same things of “Is it Monday?” and “Did daylight savings just happen?” We drove in circles around each other in an automotive ballet, deciding if we had it in us to get out and do this thing. We did indeed, and it was legendary… You all should have been there

WARMUP: SSH, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Moroccan Nightclubs, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers

THE THANG: I had a deck of cards and JWOW had some chalk, so we put them together and the magic happened

❤️ : Squats
♠️ : Overhead Press
♦️ : Curls
♣️ : Swings

Any card 4 or less were man makers, Aces were 1 man maker and a run to the road and back

We almost finished the deck

COT: We mostly discussed all the losers who didn’t show up

Do Great Things Today

Leave a comment

After the disclaimer, we began our journey around town. First stop, the pharmacy for some warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Fast Windmills, Merkins, Peter Parker, Parker Peters). Next Stop, the former location known as Hardees. Partner exercises: Elevated merkins, feet on back of partner in plank position. Second set, planking partner elbows on ground.
Next stop, Post Office. Lineman push – partner 1 pushes partner 2, flipflop.
Next stop, Unity Church. Partner wheel barrow to the stairs of the church, each rest break 5 merkins. flipflop. mosey to Footloose parking lot. One partner started the bear crawl to the end of the parking lot. Partner 2 ran to the end and back to take over for partner 1. Both finished at the end of the parking lot. Next , we moseyed to the bottom Williamson St. All you got to the top of the hill. Once all made it up the hill, I took a minute to talk about how I get ready for the day. Take a shower after the workout (good hygiene). I look into the mirror and repeat these word “I am going to do great things today.” Sounds a little silly, but we need men ready to lead in our communities..do great things.
ok, back to the workout..on our way back to COT, we stopped by the Print Shop for a pitcher of pull-ups. Back to COT for a few minutes of Mary.
Great job Guys!

Dying ain’t much of a living

Leave a comment

There was a steady, light mist that was more annoying than anything else. With Johnny Cash playing as everyone pulled into NaFo, the chatter began and it never, ever stopped. YHC was fine with it since it was my first Q in many moons, and I exceeded my own expectations by remembering how to call in cadence.

I will fail miserably trying to recount all of the stories that were told, but perhaps I could list some of the many subjects:
Johnny Cash & June Carter
King Soloman
Taylor Swift
Jezebel
White Snake
Nate Bergatze
Clint Eastwood, his movies and his quotes
The 6th Sense
The comedic relief was welcomed with the steady light mist beating down on us. And we still got our work in.

WARMUP:
Mosey around parking lot
• 20 SSH IC
• 10 Windmills IC
• 10 LSS IC
• 10 MNCs IC
